Heena

Me and my best friend R. This is a pics from my wedding.I absolutely love applying heena in my hands.Umm but somehow it was something I could never do on my own. I tried to teach my self, did a lot of practice, I was alright on paper, but when it came to hand it never worked.

This is another pic from my wedding, of course its Enn holding my hand, during some ritual.I wish I could draw something like that on my own...

So I came across this amazing website- http://www.hennapage.com/with a lot of information on Heena, and a lot of books on it.In fact it also has a very detailed step by step tutorial to learn drawing Heena from scratch.Here it is.
